The Rockets traded Robert to SA for Sean Elliott but Sean failed the physical. Robert had to come back home. If I remember right he even dressed for the Spurs.

 

I assume he meant the Horry to Detroit trade from Houston that didn't happen.

 

Wrong. It wasn't the Spurs, it was the Pistons.

 

ahh I think you are right. I was thinking I saw him on the bench but I don't think he could have been until all physicals were approved. He might have been there in street clothes though. But I could be wrong on that too.

 

got yall my bad I was 5 at that time

 

could we have offered memphis something more to add mayo in our deal

--------------------------

Based on conversations with sources who have knowledge of the situation, a third team -- New Orleans -- was involved in the negotiations to make the financial aspects of the deal meet NBA rules.

Late in the talks, New Orleans pulled out, leaving the Grizzlies and Pacers scrambling for another partner. Another team was found and agreements were made, but the 2 p.m. deadline had passed.

 

so we traded rudy gay for thabust?

 

So if you want to sabotage trades by other teams, pretend that you are in and then pull out 30 seconds before the trade deadline. Genius

 

Now. We got rid of Stromile Swift.

 

WTH DEADLINES OVA!!!!
